Thank you, Indivisible! Well done!

Video from yesterday's Rage Against the Regime!

We just sent out the latest edition of our monthly newsletter.

We covered the Charlottesville zoning code lawsuit, local election results, e-bikes, opportunities with PHAR, and more.

Enjoy!

Good thought! And of course you can give directly to abigailspanberger.com, lilyfordelegate.com, or any of our other fine candidates.

Precisely. Bad economics and also actually illegal.

Really bad.

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

Trump Just Released His Plan to Revoke Birthright Citizenship. It’s Worse Than Imagined. Try as it might, the government cannot cover up the horrors with bureaucratic legalese.

If SCOTUS approves this EO, be prepared to show proof of citizenship in the maternity ward when you give birth. Even kids of people here legally, dreamers brought here in infancy and lived their whole lives here, will have their citizenship stripped. Stateless babies.

Thank you, @creighdeeds.bsky.social.

This, James Baldwin’s birthday, is the perfect day for this passage from NO NAME IN THE STREETS.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have," Baldwin wrote in his essay No Name in the Street.

Strong statement from the American Economics Association.

We get tons of coffee from Brazil… so Trump’s 50% tariffs will mean a steep mark-up on your morning cup.

And the reason you’ll be paying more? As per usual with Trump, it’s about corruption and personal grievance – not about what’s best for the American people.

Unreal.

In yet another one of the Trump administration’s distraction tactics from their failure to release the Epstein files, they invited someone guilty of statutory rape with a 16-year-old to the White House.

Trump is trying to send the jobs data into the same dark vault where he’s hiding the Epstein report

Because if the facts don’t serve him, he does everything he can to bury them

Thank you for your service to our country.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82.

Am I doing this right?

YES, PLEASE!

Economics researchers are already scrambling to find workarounds for the coming era of falsified or missing government data.

Wow

Reminder: this is tomorrow, August 2. Bring a food donation!

Statement by Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA08) on Trump blasting the US economy with massive tariffs as job growth craters and inflation spikes

“Today’s brutal jobs report confirms that President Trump’s tariffs are a major drag on the U.S. economy. But as Trump’s tariffs slowly strangle the economy, he is announcing huge new tariffs that will squeeze it even harder." - Rep. @beyer.house.gov (D-VA08) bluevirginia.us/2025/08/va-d...

We need bigger numbers than that.

Well put.

And for some reason, that same political party use uses the word “liberty“ as a sort of fetish.

Good meeting with @uvahealth.bsky.social and @creighdeeds.bsky.social to discuss how UVA and schools in our Research Diamond are paving the way for medical innovation and economic opportunity. Our UVA Manning Institute For Biotechnology will be a hub to turn science into medicine that heals.

Shall we do fundraising to ensure that every Black voter in Virginia hears these? Because… wow.

July is African American Bone Marrow Awareness Month. Bone Marrow transplants can cure cancer and life threatening blood disorders but people of color have a much harder time finding a match, often having to forgo lifesaving treatment options. But we can do something about it..

Yes, do join us on Thursdays by Brazos Tacos! We have canvassing and phone-banking for the statewide race, and post-carding for Lily. It’s a friendly group with good comradery and we have fun!

(And a keen observer may note that our handwriting standards are …not prohibitively strict.)

On the Virginia side of things, Kaine voted for Sanders’ measure while Warner voted against it.

FYI. The guy is evil, but also weak.
